Canada expels top India diplomats, links them to murder of Sikh leader

India has long denied Trudeau's accusations. On Monday, it dismissed Canada's move on the inquiry and accused Trudeau of pursuing a "political agenda."

I find this claim fascinating. Ridding one's country of foreign operatives who seek to use violence and intimidation against citizens and legal residents seeking asylum is, in fact, "a political agenda." One could be forgiven for assuming that everything a country's prime minister does in their official capacity is, by default, part of a political agenda. What could Trudeau possibly do as PM that can't be subsumed under the umbrella "a political agenda"? Even throwing out the first pitch at a Blue Jays game is part of a political agenda.

It's such a baldfaced weasel phrase, yet it somehow still carries rhetorical power. You really need nothing else to tell you that India is full of shit in this instance than that they fall back like cowards to meaningless bad faith tactics like this.
